41 * AlterTableCreateToastTable
42 * If the table needs a toast table, and doesn't already have one,
43 * then create a toast table for it. (With the force option, make
44 * a toast table even if it appears unnecessary.)
46 * The caller can also specify the OID to be used for the toast table.
47 * Usually, toastOid should be InvalidOid to allow a free OID to be assigned.
48 * (This option, as well as the force option, is not used by core Postgres,
49 * but is provided to support pg_migrator.)
51 * reloptions for the toast table can be passed, too. Pass (Datum) 0
52 * for default reloptions.
54 * We expect the caller to have verified that the relation is a table and have
55 * already done any necessary permission checks. Callers expect this function
56 * to end with CommandCounterIncrement if it makes any changes.
